<h1>Status</h1>
<h2>Current Version: 20050615</h2>
<p>
See <a href="index.php?page=download">download</a> for download
information. This release focused on infrastructure, organization, and
initial design rather than comprehensive policy coverage or security
improvements. Currently only the strict policy is supported, with
targeted policy support planned for the future.
</p>
<p>
This is a prototype release, not meant to be used on real systems. It
is targeted towards developers, to show the direction of the policy's
development, and to solicit feedback and assistance.
